Like Lamps On by Day

Selected reviews

“I am impressed by the intensity of the music and the compilation of the tape who touches different musical and emotional moods”Jan Kees Helm on Vital Weekly

“At just over 25 minutes, you might be tempted to call this an EP, but let’s not get tripped up by categorizations. There is plenty here to get lost in, and the material encourages repeat listens”Joseph Sannicandro on A Closer Listen

“A work which won” it probably satisy the fundamentalists of hype music, but which will be able to get the appreciation of those of you who have always dreamed the the Slint, Angelo Badalamenti and Brian Eno recorded an album together”Nicola Giunta on The New Noise

“Far away from any calculated detachment, despite the large studio work and the remarkable care for the details, Like Lamps On By Day turns out to be an album of absolute value, which draws on the inner being of the listener without giving up its personality”Emiliano Zanotti on Sodapop

“Stefano De Ponti has acquired a fundamental music notion: the landscape. That is, that effective construction of a coherent auditive horizon which shines through every track of his new album by a truly constructive mechanism where various elements stand one close to the othe”Zeno Gabaglio on Azione

“nostalgia and distant echoes plunged into a big kaleidoscope of sensations. Precious sound gems, nestled on the canvas, are the cornerstone of a work rich in vitality, in which the need of communicating emotions is filtered by a personal and warm touch. Small subtleties for those who look for something new”Michele Viali on Darkroom Magazine
